Grand Voyager Stalls on IDLE RPMs.byab 05-27-2007, 11:53 PM Hi. I tried to find out answers for my problem on forum, but with no results. My 97' Plymouth Grand voyager 3.3 L, had main computer replaced. After that I got a problem that it stalls very often when I have to slow down, let say approaching intersection, on stop sign and what is most irritating on exits from ramps (suddenly no power steering in a middle of curve). Sometimes I can drive for a few days and everything is OK, but sometimes it happens a few times per day. So far I noticed that it happens on cold and warm engine. I spoke with my mechanic, but he couldn't find anything unusual and it is tricky because whenever I went to shop everything was OK, no stalls on test drive. Is anybody had that problem? All help is much appreciated. :banghead: Rawtorque 05-29-2007, 09:20 PM Your Idle Air Control might be gummed up or flaking out. The passages for it may also be carboned up. A sticky EGR valve can cause stalling at idle. Finally, the Throttle Position Sensor may have a bad spot on it. byab 05-29-2007, 11:19 PM Thank you Rawtorque. I will check them. By any chance do you know maybe where Idle Air Control is located in this vehicle? 3.3L V6. It is kind a strange, because it never hapens when vehicle stays in park. It always hapens when engine lowers RPMs. It goes to normal about 800 rps and starts lowering to ~500rpm and ooopss 0 rpms. Once again thanks for help. RaeRae1 05-30-2007, 11:32 AM BYAB, We had many problems with our Grand Voyager doing that. We replaced the throttle postitioning valve, no luck. Replaced the EGR but it still had a problem. Finally, we had the O2 sensor replaced. That seemed to fix the problem. I would start with that since it is the easiest and cheapest to fix, then go from there. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
